Admit defeat

Chapter 15 Unworthy

There was a muffled sound of "bang bang" in the room, which had not stopped for more than two hours.Luo Yao punched the sandbag desperately with red eyes, what Fang Jue said to him was repeated in his mind.

Fang Jue said that Cheng Che was inferior, Fang Jue asked him if he still liked Miao Su...

He asked himself: Do I still like Miao Su?

Then, he failed to answer.

When liking becomes habitual, he will not deliberately think about what it would be like not to like it. He never thought that he would give up liking Miao Su, even though Miao Su has never responded to him for so many years, even though Miao Su has already had thoughts People who want to stay together for a lifetime.

But no matter what, Fang Jue should not use Miao Su to accuse Cheng Che, Cheng Che and Miao Su are two completely independent existences...

Thinking of Cheng Che, that fair face appeared in Luo Yao's manic brain, sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes pursing his lips shyly.He always lowered his head slightly and called "Senior", and then secretly raised his eyes to look at people.He is tolerant, strong, simple, and kind, and possesses almost all the good qualities that Luo Yao knows. Although they have only known each other for a short time, Luo Yao can be sure that he is such a beautiful person. people I've never met in my life.

Such an Omega was actually called a defective product by Fang Jue.

"Hold!"

Luo Yao kicked the sandbag hard, took off his boxing gloves, picked up his mobile phone and opened Zhang Lei's WeChat. He asked Zhang Lei, "Do you think I'm weird recently?"

Soon, Zhang Lei replied: Strange?What aspect are you talking about?

Luo Yao: Let me change the question. Do you think Fang Jue is weird recently?

Zhang Lei: If you want to talk about Juejue...I feel that he...hey, I'm not easy to say.

Luo Yao: He doesn't like Cheng Che.

Zhang Lei: Fuck, you still come to ask me if you know.

Luo Yao threw down his mobile phone irritably, and took a cold shower in the bathroom. The cold water at the end of October made him a little more awake.

When he picked up his phone again, Zhang Lei sent him another message: Mule, do you like Cheng Che?

……

After Cheng Che returned to the dormitory, he took the mobile phone case to the bed and put it under the pillow for a while, and stuffed it under the mattress for a while. No matter how he put it, he felt unsafe.

"Cheng Che bought a mobile phone?" Rong He came out of the shower and saw Cheng Che playing with the new mobile phone.

"Yeah." Cheng Che didn't explain that Luo Yao borrowed it from him, "Ronghe, where do you put your phone at night?"

Rong He was taken aback by Cheng Che's question, "Ah...just, put it next to the pillow."

"Will it be unsafe?" After all, Luo Yao lent it to him, so he had to keep it carefully.

"No way, the security measures in our dormitory building are very good."

Cheng Che nodded.

"Tch, the hillbilly is going to town." Li Shu, who was putting on a mask, rolled his eyes.

Wang Tianci chimed in: "Who cares about your broken mobile phone, as if no one else has a mobile phone?"

"Li Shu and Wang Tianci, please stop talking." As the head of the dormitory, Rong He couldn't understand that Li Shu and Wang Tianci always aimed at Cheng Che, but Cheng Che didn't seem to care much, and he didn't like much either. say what.

During the training break in the afternoon, Luo Yao had already taught Che how to use a mobile phone, but Cheng Che had never touched this kind of electronic product, so he was still a little unfamiliar.He opened the phone book, and there was only Luo Yao's number in it. He wanted to ask Rong He's cell phone number, but after looking at the only "Luo Yao", he gave up.

Just as he was about to turn off the phone screen, the phone vibrated suddenly, and a WeChat message flashed out.

Cheng Che immediately opened WeChat in a hurry, and Luo Yao, the only friend on his WeChat list, sent him a message.

Luo Yao: Are you asleep?

Cheng Che fiddled with it for nearly a minute before sending out the first WeChat message in his life: Not yet.

Luo Yao: Get up early tomorrow, go to bed early, good night Chengzi.

Cheng Che stumbled and typed "Good night, senior also goes to bed early" in the dialog box, thought for a while and deleted "senior also went to bed early", but in the end he only sent "um".

Luo Yao on the opposite side stared at the string of "the other party is typing..." for 2 minutes, and then waited expectantly for an "um"...

During the official game, Fang Jue didn't come, saying that he bumped his nose and let the substitute come on.

When Fang Jue was mentioned, Luo Yao's expression was a little off. Cheng Che noticed this slight change in expression calmly. He felt that Fang Jue was more than just bumped on the nose.

Due to time and venue reasons, the competition was arranged as a group round-robin match at the same time, and the first opponent of the Academy of Materials was the Academy of Chemistry.

This year's friendly competition for the new semester was sponsored by a brand under Roche. Needless to say, the configuration was luxurious, and it also attracted countless student spectators, especially in Luo Yao's arena, where tickets were hard to come by.

This was Cheng Che's first time watching a basketball game, and there was a lot of people around. Friends and relatives from various colleges cheered for their players, especially the students from the College of Materials. Because of Luo Yao's presence, some even stood up. Roaring on the stool, the "arrogance" is incredible.

Different from the enthusiasm around him, Cheng Che always sat quietly in the crowd. From the very beginning, his gaze was firmly fixed on the most dazzling Alpha on the field.

Every movement of Luo Yao, whether it was running, jumping, or shooting, carried an unparalleled aura, and the strength emanating from his muscles was enough to shatter all the insignificant scenes around him into dim ashes.

Luo Yao will shine.

Cheng Che discovered it the day they first met.

Luo Yao's light was so bright that everyone else turned into black shadows and lost their sense of existence.

Cheng Che clenched his fists tightly, and his entire breathing was drawn by Luo Yao's every move. Whenever Luo Yao scored a goal, he would gasp heavily amidst the sudden screams around him.

Throughout the game, he and Luo Yao looked at each other many times. Luo Yao would look at him every time he scored a goal. Yao can see it.

This is a strange feeling, as if no matter how far apart he and Luo Yao are, they can still communicate with each other.

Such a short distance made Cheng Che's heart beat wildly just thinking about it.

In fact, he is looking forward to being closer to Luo Yao, so that he can express his appreciation for Luo Yao face to face, but he still thinks about it, even if he has a thousand words, if he really faces Luo Yao, he probably won't be able to say it .

After the first game, Luo Yao led the Caiyuan team to win the score, there is no suspense, at least in Cheng Che's view.

At the end of the game, Cheng Che had already replaced all the players with new towels and water.

The members of the School of Materials walked off the field one by one with their heads held high, accepting the cheers from the students like triumphant warriors. However, most of the admiration was for Luo Yao. Luo Yao walked in the front, like a king.

Cheng Che stood in the rest area, holding a clean towel and Luo Yao's special water cup in his hand. For some reason, he saw the tall Alpha getting closer to him, and his palms were sweating. Just as he made up his mind to meet him When he was walking, he suddenly discovered that Luo Yao was not walking towards him...

He looked in Luo Yao's direction, and on the other side of the rest area, sat a young man as beautiful as jade. The man just sat on the seat and smiled at Luo Yao, and Luo Yao immediately walked away with a smile. With long legs, he trotted in front of that person, as if he had seen some surprise.

When Cheng Che wanted to take a second look, there was already a huge crowd of basketball players in front of him, blocking his sight.The team members clamored for water, so he had no choice but to put down Luo Yao's things first, and distribute water and towels to other team members.

"Miao Su, why are you here?"

On the other hand, Luo Yao was very surprised by Miao Su's appearance, because Miao Su had never watched his basketball game before, and this was the only game that he did not invite Miao Su to watch alone, but Miao Su unexpectedly visited .

"Didn't you find me in a hurry?"

"what?"

Seeing Luo Yao's puzzled expression, Miao Su smiled and stroked her forehead, "Fang Jue actually lied to me, why, isn't Zhang Lei doing this kind of thing now?"

In the past, in order to help Luo Yao chase people, Zhang Lei often asked Miao Su out with various reasons, and disappeared automatically after Luo Yao and Miao Su met, but Fang Jue did this kind of thing for the first time.

"Fang Jue..." Luo Yao frowned suddenly.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, let's go together, Zhang Lei is over there."

Miao Su looked at Luo Yao for a long time without saying a word, got up and walked to the team with Luo Yao.

The water prepared in the morning was quickly finished. Cheng Che brought two large boxes from the main service area to prepare for the game in the afternoon. Luo Yao saw Cheng Che struggling to carry the water from a long distance away. .

"Miao Su, go find Zhang Lei first." Luo Yao walked towards Cheng Che without waiting for Miao Su's answer.

Miao Su looked at Luo Yao's hurried back, and then at the thin boy holding two large tanks of water, with a smile on his lips.

The weight of the two boxes of water is not small. Cheng Che was walking unsteadily when he was suddenly blocked by a tall figure. He suddenly withdrew his steps, and the two boxes of water in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Let me do it."

A deep and magnetic voice rang in his ears, and before Cheng Che had time to react, he felt a light touch on his hand, and two boxes of water landed firmly on Luo Yao's arms.

"no need."

Cheng Che wanted to bring the water back, but Luo Yao had already moved forward, giving him no chance to bring it back.

Luo Yao walked several steps forward but did not see Cheng Che following him. He turned around and found that Cheng Che was five steps away from him with his head down, thinking about something. He didn't even notice when he stopped until The thin chest hit his arm.

"Sorry..." Cheng Che frowned.

"orange."

"Ok?"

"Do you have something on your mind?"

"No..." Cheng Che shook his head, and finally said, "Senior just played very well."

"When did I not play well?"

"Well, it's great anytime."

"..." Luo Yao was at a loss for words for a moment, but Cheng Che actually learned to change the subject.

What Cheng Che was thinking was indeed not his mind, he was just thinking about the young man he saw just now, the young man who showed self-cultivation and nobility in every gesture.To make Luo Yao show such an expression, he should be Miao Su.

When Luo Yao and Cheng Che passed by, Miao Su was surrounded by Luo Yao's teammates like stars.

I don't know who yelled loudly: "Luo Yao is here!"

The others looked over immediately, and when they saw Luo Yao, they winked and booed.

"Luo Yao, why did you kidnap Miao Su?"

"Quickly and truthfully confess!"

"Shut up!" Luo Yao put the water on the ground and slapped the person closest to him.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The man deliberately covered his shoulders, coughing loudly as if he had suffered internal injuries, but his eyes looked back and forth between Miao Su and Luo Yao with ulterior motives.

"Miao Su, you don't come to Luo Yao's games every time. It makes him hopeless and affects his real strength. As soon as you come today, he will perform supernormally immediately."

Indeed, Luo Yao played surprisingly well today, and his teammates all attributed this to the appearance of Miao Su, but in fact he didn't even know that Miao Su was here.

Miao Su didn't like to be talked about like this. Luo Yao was afraid that Miao Su would get angry, so he immediately stopped his teammates from talking nonsense, "It's okay, it's okay, don't talk about it."

"Oh, our young master Luo is shy."

"Shy ass." Luo Yao subconsciously glanced at Cheng Che, and found that Cheng Che had walked away with the two boxes of water at some point.

"Cheng Zi!" Luo Yao called out to Cheng Che's back.

Cheng Che turned around.

"You wait for me, we will have dinner together later."

Cheng Che nodded, and continued to walk to the place where drinking water was stored. He put the water in the cabinet, and then exited the basketball hall through the side door.

It had just rained outside, and the damp air after the rain stuck to the skin of the person, making him feel uncomfortable.

Cheng Che stood at the bottom of the steps and waited for Luo Yao. Ever since he joined the basketball team, he ate a meal with Luo Yao almost every day. , sent it to his plate all at once, he had no choice but to eat it, and he couldn't waste it.

Cheng Che looked back at the main entrance of the basketball hall, but Luo Yao hadn't come out yet.

There was a small puddle at Cheng Che's feet, and his own shadow was reflected in the accumulated water in the puddle. I wonder if it was because of the lighting problem, but there was always an indescribable shadow on his face in the water. water surface.

"Cheng Che."

He heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, it was Fang Jue.Fang Jue was standing in the corner with gauze on his face and a peaked cap, unable to see his expression clearly.

"Senior Fang?" Cheng Che walked over, "Is your nose okay?"

Fang Jue didn't respond to Cheng Che's concern, but said coldly, "Have you seen Miao Su?"

Cheng Che was taken aback by Fang Jue's inexplicable question, and then nodded.

"Now, do you still think you are qualified to compare with him?"

There were sharp thorns in Fang Jue's words, which made Cheng Che unclear, so he frowned, "I don't know what aspect Senior Fang is talking about."

"Aspects, or to put it another way, who do you think Luo Yao will choose between you and Miao Su?"

Fang Jue's question directly confuses Cheng Che, he doesn't know what Fang Jue's words mean, he and Miao Su don't know each other at all, and he and Luo Yao don't have the relationship of choosing and being chosen.

Seeing Cheng Che's silence, Fang Jue sneered, "Since you can't answer, then I'll tell you the answer. Luo Yao will definitely choose Miao Su in the end. He has been in love with Miao Su for seven years. Why? Will you give up easily? And you are just a comforting substitute that happened to appear when he couldn't ask for it. Luo Yao treats you well because you are young."

Fang Jue's words hit Cheng Che's heart like a heavy hammer. It's not that he never thought that Luo Yao liked Miao Su. He even personally verified this in the basketball gym just now. But after this fact, Fang Jue said He couldn't quite understand every word of the words, but in this confusion, he remembered a sentence that Luo Yao once said to him——

"You're like a guy I know who likes to be quiet and to be in places where no one is around."

……

"Whether he can catch Miao Su or not, it's none of my business? He..." Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Che stopped suddenly as if thinking of something. He realized that he had said such a meaningless sentence, like... It's like being angry.

But why is he so angry?Or to put it another way, what right do I have to be angry...

Cheng Che stood there in a daze, his lips opened and closed, and a sour feeling rushed in from his nasal cavity, causing his eyes to heat up and his eardrums to buzz.

"It's really nothing to do with you, but you'd better be a little self-aware. Everything you got from Luo Yao is thanks to Miao Su." Fang Jue's voice was raised high, as if he was doing some high-level charity, "I understand your kind Mentality, you have been suffering for a long time, and once you taste the sweetness, you will be hungry, but some things are not yours, and they are not yours after all. Luo Yao can give you or take them back. Don’t let yourself get too trapped in the dream. Shen, I'm doing this for your own good too."

In Fang Jue's aggressive words, Cheng Che's eyebrows were twisted into a deep cut, which was particularly abrupt on his delicate skin.

He would never have thought that not only Li Shu and Wang Tianci, but even Fang Jue thought so. When he thought that Luo Yao's meaning to him could be easily tarnished by others, he couldn't suppress the anger in his chest.

"I hope you will remember what I said today, and don't feel too at ease. Luo Yao is not a philanthropist. Without Miao Su, he would not be able to help you."

After Fang Jue finished speaking, he was about to leave when he heard Cheng Che's voice behind him. He tried his best to restrain the choking in his throat: "If it's my poverty that makes you unhappy, then what you just said is actually meaningless .”

Fang Jue paused. He didn't expect that Cheng Che, who usually seemed soft-tempered, would say such a thing to him. He almost wanted to laugh. Would a simple and heartless person say such a thing?Only Luo Yao would be foolish enough to think that Cheng Che was a little white rabbit.

Fang Jue wanted to say something more, but when he saw Luo Yao and his group coming out of the basketball court, he had to lower the brim of his hat and leave.

Cheng Che stood there with trembling back until Luo Yao walked in front of him.

"Chengzi," Luo Yao said with an apologetic expression, "I have something to do with a friend, so I can't accompany you for dinner."

Cheng Che glanced at Miao Su who was not far away, and found that Miao Su was also looking at him with interest, with an unclear expression.

Cheng Che seemed to be burned, he quickly looked away, turned around and walked away quickly, as if fleeing, without even leaving a reply to Luo Yao.
